You will be able to elevate your brand and reach more potential customers than ever before.

But now what?

How will you convert your new opportunities into booked business? Marketing without a set of tested systems is futile and will lead to "Ignition Failure" for your brand!

If you are serious about turbo-charging your results and making 2019 a year of transformational growth, join JB Glossinger and Waldo Waldman, CSP, CPAE, for this boutique, four-hour sales-focused seminar where you’ll learn tools and tactics on driving revenue from two masters of sales. Both run seven-figure businesses, but with very different models. And they are teaming up to provide their insights, processes, and tools to convert prospects into clients.

Here's the lineup:

JB Glossinger, MBA, PhD, better known as “Morning Coach,” runs a business that, unlike Waldo, is primarily B-to-C. His paid podcast, MorningCoach.com, has received over 25 million downloads and generates enough annual revenue to sustain his “lifestyle-based business.” A guru in leveraging technology to scale his business, JB's live events and mastermind groups provide significant additional recurring income while contributing deeply to the lives of those he works with. He still gets hired to do the occasional keynote, but he’d much rather be on the golf course near his Florida home or spending time with family and friends.

Waldo Waldman, MBA, CSP, CPAE, is known as “The Wingman” and delivers 80+ events each year for corporate and association clients. His fees are impressive, and his brand is super unique, but what makes him special is that he does a ton of his business direct (i.e. not though bureaus!) Waldo’s front-end systems, phone skills, and savvy marketing tools for converting opportunities into sales have been key to driving his revenue. He is also a master of leveraging his keynote opportunities into larger engagements, deeper offerings, future referrals, and ongoing relationships. Waldo’s model is decidedly B-to-B and that’s been his focus. His clients love him because he delivers results that last beyond the event. To learn more about Waldo, visit YourWingman.com

JB and Waldo are teaming up for the first time ever to offer you a black belt in sales and conversion—in just four jam-packed hours! Only register for this additional “Post-Conference Deep Dive” if you are serious about creating profound results!
